" It cannot be", remarked Sara as she stared at me," But you're suppose to be dead".
     I smiled and replied," Death cannot hold me Sara. This battle ends right now".
     Angrily, Sara threw Dogan away and walked towards me in a threatening manner," We'll see about that".
     I smiled again and walked towards her as well. Then we broke into a run and increased our pace until we jumped and struck each other's fists. It caused a shockwave that split the wind in half. Sara moved back and flew in for a punch which I dodged effortlessly and moved away with a taunting smile. This enraged her and made her shoot lasers at me, to which I made a blue fire-like portal which teleported them behind her back and struck her, causing her to spin towards me. I grabbed her hands and brighted up as blue flames blazed out from my body. She tried to break free but it was fruitless, so she improvised and gave me a headbutt. It practically did nothing to me, to which I smiled at her stunned face and gave her my headbutt as well, driving her across the road and into a building. She stood up shortly but had her neck grabbed and her body propelled upwards through the building until she reached the top. She later resorted to grabbing me and tried to drain my powers. But to her surprise, she found out that she couldn't at all.
     " You've been blessed by the supreme gods. It is only their powers I cannot drain", remarked the shocked Sara.
     " And this is the part where I get my body back!", I exclaimed and brightened my eyes. Sara's eyes also brightened, and she screamed and struggled to break free. I held her violently and screamed in a long voice. She screamed also, startling my friends who were up in their feet and witnessed the drama in the skies. A greenish mist burst out from Sara's mouth and took to the skies, vanishing into the air. Her skin became normal, and Nina Robinson was finally free, although unconscious.
     I held her like a baby in my arms and floated down to meet the others. I landed on the ground gently and laid her on the floor. I looked up and saw the others come running towards me. The first person that reached me was Nagura. She hugged me tightly and praised the god of Wisdom. Farax also hugged me as well, a bit of a surprise to me I must confess. Seth smiled at me and shook my right hand, a thing I believed meant congratulations. Anas tapped me on my right shoulder and said," Welldone Nina".
     I smiled back at him as well, but turned back to look at the one person I cared the most. Dogan only stood there and watched me with a tear escaping his right eye. I was touched at his appearance and ran towards him. He embraced me and spinned in circles, while we closed the gaps between our lips and kissed each other lovingly. The others looked at us like one happy couple.

     In a blue room with sophisticated devices, Nina Robinson laid on a white bed with no bedspread on her. She wore a white apron on her and looked like she was physically not injured in anyway. She slowly opened her eyes weakly and closed them when they met the rays flashing out from a light bulb hung above her. Then she suddenly remembered something and jerked from her sleep. In front of her sat Anas, wearing a white clean shirt, dark brown open jacket with an Assassino logo on his right, a pair of white and yellow Jean's and a pair of black shoes. She blinked and rubbed her eyes at him, while he smiled and asked her," Are you alright Miss. Robinson?".
     " You", she muttered at him," You're Anas right?".
     He nodded his head in confirmation.
     " The last thing I remembered was having my powers drained by the strange water in the cauldron. What happened to the others? Including Sara?".
     " Sara is gone Miss. Robinson. The others are safe, including you. However, you were separated by Nagura  so as to save you both from death".
     Nina looked at herself as though she was an alien," You mean, she spilt us? How?".
     " Your bond with Nina Flamingo was like a strong seal, so like a Seal Breaker, Nagura broke that seal and established you and Nina as individual persons. That's means that you are no longer a Sui-dogen my dear".
     She closed her eyes and sighed. Reopening them, she asked," What about Tom?".
     " Back at the fishing village, hale and healthy, along with his mother and...", he paused and remained mute.
     " And what?", she asked eagerly.
     " Family", he finished speaking and looked st her.
     She stared at him and felt a lump on her throat," Family? I... I don't understand".
     " You were in coma for a year Miss. Robinson".
     " Coma? Why in coma?".
     " After you were freed from Sara, you remained unconscious up to this moment. I had to hide you from government authorities who were looking for you because of the events that happened in Euston".
     " What event?".
     " The battle between Sara and the Mystic Five, including me of course".
     " Mystic Five?".
     " Farax gave the team that name, and everyone seemed to like it".
     She smiled and thought about them for a while, then looked at Anas and asked," So what happens to me now?".
     He sighed, stood and walked up to her while speaking," The only thing I can provide for you is an undercover job at a library in New York, where you'll be the head of the library and manage books, articles and other stuffs like that".
     " And the others?".
     " They have to stay in the Relics for now".
     " Hmm. I'm sure Nina Flamingo is enjoying herself with Dogan now. I always wondered who between us would eventually get him, and even though I lost, I still know that my luck hasn't ran out yet".
     He smiled, tapped her on the shoulder and said," Have a nice day Miss. Robinson".
     " You too Anas", she replied and smiled back at him. He sighed, left her and exited the room, while she sat there and wondered what lied ahead of her.

Epilogue

     Some weeks later, Nina Robinson was in the library, wearing a light pink short sleeved buttoned shirt with chocolate trousers, a pair of dark blue shoes, a beaded jewelry on her right arm and a wristwatch on the other. She was arranging pairs of books together on her desk and then relaxed on her rotating chair with a shrug. A man came by and dropped a white mail on her desk.
     " It's for you", he said.
     " From who?", she asked.
     " Don't know ma'am. Found it outside and saw that the writer wanted to to have it".
     " Okay Jim. You may leave".
     Jim nodded his head and left. Nina opened the letter and saw a photo of the Mystic Five, all posing with the waving of hands and smiles. There was a short sentence written at the back, saying," Happy Birthday Nina. Wishing you the best of everything".
     She smiled and wished in her heart that she could visit them someday soon. She took one more look at the photo, then dropped it in her drawer and sighed.
     Just then Jim came back and informed her," Boss, someone's here. She said she wants to apply for the post of being your assistant".
     " Ah. Great. Send her in".
     Jim gave a short bow and left. While Nina opened a file and pretended to be reading,  a young woman wearing having long white hair, grey pupils in her eyes, a light blue buttoned shirt, a pair of black trousers and shoes, and a hand bag worn over her left shoulder, came and stood in front of her.
     " Ah yes, it's about time", said Nina as she noticed the woman's presence," What's your name if I may ask?".
     " Ana Rose", the woman replied with a smile.

***

     There was a long row of witches that stood like statues with their faces bowed down in shame. They flapped their arms sideways like lazy wings and chanted a mournful song. Walking through their midst was Golem, holding a jar containing only the gods knows what's inside. She bent down beside a stone statue of Sara lying down and having her arms crossed like someone buried and poured the contents of the jar into the mouth. The eyes of the statue blazed out green fumes before dying out, making Golem to frown and weep. She stood up and with a wave of her right hand, magically lifted the statue off the ground and dipped it into a thick black gelatinous liquid.
     " May you rise once more", she whispered only to herself.
